This would indeed be useful, the only reason it hasn't been done already is that it's much easier said than done :)
It could be implemented by giving widgets a function equivalent to a copy constructor, but I think it would be better if this was combined with a way to serialize the contents of a widget. Each widget would have functions to load and save its contents to a buffer, and the pgDup for widgets would copy using those functions. A spiffy way to implement this would be a server request to save a tree of widgets into a widget template. This could make it very easy to make user settings persistent, or it could be used in WT editors.
